Pole dancing entails the need for a pair of pole dancing shoes. Pole dancing shoes will enhance your pole dancing routines and performances. Pole dancing shoes don't just look amazing they have a number of other uses.
They enable you to stick to the pole better, they improve your posture, allow you to pivot, give you extra momentum when performing spins, increase your stretch as well as make your legs look elongated, slender and amazing! Pole dancing shoes willl also help to save your feet from bruises and scrapes.
As a beginner you willl benefit from the Mary Jane platform or the Slingback style of pole dancing shoes.
Mary Jane Platform - have platform soles that are between 1/2 and 3 inches plus heels that are between 3 and 5 inches, frequently they have extra large buckles or grommets. These shoes have a high side which willl give you extra grip when climbbing and performing the crucifix. When you start learning to climbb and stick to the pole the more grip you can get from your shoe the better - at least until you have mastered the technique. Once you have mastered the technique the grip from the side willl make climbbing easier so you don't use all your effort getting to the top of the pole before you do those inverts. As the shoes have a strap across the top you willl not be scared of losing your shoes when inverted.Slingback - is a backless shoe characterized by a strap that crosses behind the heel or ankle. The slingback allows you to slip your foot into the shoe easily without needing to make any manual adjustments to the strap or buckle, while still holding the foot in the shoe relatively securely. These are another style of pole dancing shoe which willl provide covering to more of the side of your foot which willl make climbing or doing the crucifix effortless.
When buying pole dancing shoes buy shoes one size bigger, the bigger heel willl cause your feet to slide forward crushing your toes. The bigger size willl stop this happening.
